If anyone is working on a new design for a dretch, or anything dretch related, maybe it's best to post them here and other repost them, so it's packed into 1 nice topic.

To kick-off.
I finished modeling, now I need to figure out how to make a UV map, so i can make layered maps.

click here for large

The model is basicly finished.
I hope to get some UV's done do i can make a displacement map, bumb, normal ect. mappings,
so i can start rigging.

I've done this style of dretch on a earlier trial for a new 'rant. I wanted to have smooth like armor shells, but not too buglike appearance.
Compared to the body, the dretch has a big head. Deadly head bites. Also A big head fits a small/young class.

there are some failed dretch designs that are going to be origins for other classes.

Looks interesting, but adding the armour shell seems a bit contrary to the dretch which is more of a low health, speed alien.

Looks like a replacement basi, if anything.

well cockroatches have the same armour shell-like features, still easy to crush them.I like it.

And a dretch can survive at least 1 bullet. So gameplay is affected much, only the visual part.
OH the armor has a more aerodynamical shape

Funny you'd notice.
I have an aborted sketch for the dretch wich I'm going to use for basi modeling.
Aside from size, their proportional differences are a bit close to each other.

I like it a lot, but it seems to be too high off the ground, if that's its default position.

UniqPhoeniX · « **Reply #8 on:** August 04, 2010, 04:07:21 am »

Another awesome model/thread from you, +1

mooseberry · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2010, 05:25:14 am »

It looks a bit too raised to me. My advice is to try to shorten the legs and maybe lengthen the body just a little to space out the legs a tiny bit. I think the problem is the legs seem too tall for something small and little buggy like.

Meisseli · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2010, 06:48:04 am »

Yes, the legs don't make it look like a high-speed creature it is, but otherwise, it's a brilliant dretch!

I'd like new alien models in 1.2 too, at least a better-looking Overmind and Tyrant

Agreed. A better OM and rant would be awesome!

I like the current OM...

Me too. But that rant model from the community spotlight would be kick ass.

I can get someone who is pretty good to model the OM for sure

Firstinaction · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2010, 03:46:29 am »

I call this BullRant. Took me 1 hour too make. This is my version of an evolved Tryrant class. I even have a low poly version of this model too. I just have too rig him up then His legs will go down and look way better.

Jack Bauer · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2010, 05:04:43 am »

It looks good, but I dont see how it relates to a tyrant. I guess thats just because its only a head shot? And/or its unfinished? Anyway keep it up

Asvarox · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2010, 09:38:13 am »

swamp-cecil · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:40:29 pm »

you gotta admit, the dretch looks pretty cute like a new granger. anyways, keep up the good models. and that rant, no offence reminds me of a chicken, but better than i can ever do

Firstinaction · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2010, 03:31:42 pm »

i like typtyphus' dretch much! +1!
i handle the jaws just like this with every aliens.
however, the front legs should be attached to the ground a bit more imho in the case of wallwalking aliens, to provide attaching surface (as seen on this old concept below):
